flappers with banjos

Could there be anything more delightful?

Some more old-timey gals strumming away:

^That's a young Sara Carter!

Here's the whole adorable 9-minute clip of the Ingenues' performance, including the little ditty above. They play a whole medley of '20s popular songs with just about every instrument imaginable. I want to be in their band, haha!

Wow! i really love this! i have played the banjo almost all my life and i love it! I love the old picture of the carters too. You should look up the song Carters Blues its really cute. I also just adore the video! thank you so much

Cool! I've just bought an old banjo-mandolin like the one girl no. 4 is sitting with (needs repair done) and I'm learning to play the ukulele (via youtube) - would really like to get my hands on an old banjo-ukulele and learn how to play it George Formby style.

HAH! There could not be! :) I have recently made a folder full of images like this, I started to play the ukulele a few months ago! :) I love it!! You have the best tastes girly! Or am I just bias?! teehee! :) Hope you are having a delightful week! Zoë xxx

Do you play the banjo? I would love to learn how. I used to play the violin. I'm glad you feel the same way about FB! lol.

I think you asked a wile back about how I get my hair to be shiny. Well, all I do is use Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner. And I get it trimmed every 2 months or so. I don't know if that has anything to do with it :)

SO GOOD! My Brother plays the Banjo in his band, i'm going to go post this to him on Facebook right now, he will love it. :) I love the lady with the giant hat and of course the lady on the moon. Such lovely pictures, thanks for sharing Dakota. x
